Stopping on the Left Hand Side

Stopping on the left has three steps involved:

1. Make sure the place where you intend to stop is safe and legal.
2. Use your MSPSL procedure as you bring the vehicle to a controlled stop close to and parallel with the left kerb.
3. Make sure your vehicle is secure after stopping


1. Is it safe and is it legal? Eg. Make sure it’s not near a bend, the brow of a hill, blocking an entrance, close to a junction etc.

2. Using the MSPSL routine.
Mirrors - Since we are moving over to the left, you start with your right wing mirror, rear view then left mirror.

Signal – Indicate left

Position – Steer towards the left.

Speed – adjust your speed to control positioning the car close to the kerb

Look – continue to make good observation around your vehicle as you bring it to a hault.

3. Put gear in neutral, apply parking/hand brake.
